Feathers 🕊️ starter demo sandbox

Feathers Playground

Experimental projects for learning, research and demonstration purposes.

For documentation and generating projects see Feathers Docs.

To see a full production app with oAuth, complete schemas, better TypeScript definitions, resolvers for all service events, SQL migrations, etc... Use Feathersjs/Feathers-Chat

Feathers StackBlitz Starter

This is a minimal project with:

• A real-time chat app and server
• Gratuitus comments
• Optimizations for WebContainers
• Introductory demonstrations for most Feathers concepts
• Less than ~10 files of user facing code
• Less than 500 of code total
• 5 second cold boot times

Benchmarks

A performance tracking project with similar apps re-implemented in different frameworks.

playground's Issues

[FR] CI metrics tracking

It will be very useful to know total install size and amount of TS lines we gained/saved when doing things like adding a bit or removing duplicated learning concepts.

The size data could go in single line of the read me. As well as lines of typescript code.

[fr] Support setup/teardown

https://dove.feathersjs.com/api/application.html#setup-server

This lowers the setup needed for using vite on feathers projects. For crow support and other situations, leave the call to main if not too troublesome.

Dove also gives us the ability to do HMR with unset. We have to be careful with service.setup() calls, which may need to be manually ran after HMR events.

[FR] Support CodeFlow with monorepo

Using pnpm actually makes it cheap enough to create a demo selector... it may have to be somewhat visual as the terminal is hard to use on mobile.

Our other alternatives have large pitfalls, like creating branches for all the demos would mean we could't use pr.new.

This option isn't without issues, as the starter link would still rely on a dedicated branch.

[template-starter] Pair down schemas

https://github.com/feathersjs/playground/blob/template-starter/src/services/users/users.schema.ts

Has around 50 lines of repetitive code.

Room for improvement

• Use default validator
• Remove $id when not used
• use optional id to query and patch schema closer to a one line default
